Television man is crazy
Saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks
Oh, man, I need TV when I got T-Rex
Oh, brother, you've guessed, I'm a dude, dad

I had all their albums, including Brain Capers, which was far from a commercial success. (It was, IMO, their weakest work.)
Then, they covered This Bowie tune, followed that up with Mott, and then The Hoople.
There was an article about them in Circus magazine every month for 3 years.
This song was so important for them!
